I've got tons of non-results. Mostly British 90s footballers who have cameos in films, also Georges Melies.Is a 6 even possible?

I finally managed to get a 4 with Gustav Fröhlich, who was also in Metropolis, but I'm told there's at least one actor with a bacon number of 8. No idea who, but has to be someone incredibly obscure...

The Bacon number is easily "beatable" in that Google doesn't even try. I tried with a bunch of Norwegian actors (like Otto Jespersen, who appeared in "Trollhunter", which DID get a US release), and it just didn't set off the Bacon number code.

Mind you, for those of you outside of the US: Be sure to do the Bacon search on Google.COM. Norwegian Google doesn't have the code right now, for instance.
